A look at the future not only of this successful merchandising firm, but also a look at the future of Union and of Franklin County. As modern as tomorrow, the new supermarket stands not only as a tangible evidence of their past success in this community, but their faith in its future growth as well. Ideally located in the center of Union, just one block from the public square, the new market provides free park-ing space for one hundred cars. Modern in design, the building is of brick and glass construction and covers 11,000 square feet of space. The first commercial heat pump units ever to be used in a Missouri supermarket will be used to furnish year-around air conditioning, heating in winter and cooling in summer. The heat pump, an entirely new concept in heating and air conditioning, operated on air and electricity alone. It offers the utmost in cleanliness, having no flame, soot, grime or combustion odor. - Lighting will be the latest type of flourescent fixtures. An electronic eye will open the doors as the customers approach, permitting easier carry-out of bundles and shopping bags. The spacious interior has been planned for leisurely, comfortable shopping. Main aisles on either side of the store are wide enough to allow complete freedom of movement and the intermediate aisles will permit several customers to pass each other with their shopping carts without crowding. Four automatic checkout counters equipped with electric belts have been installed so the customers will not have long and tiresome delays, once their shopping is finished. Spring colors were used for the interior decorations. The south wall of the market is covered with wallpaper showing hawthorne against a seafoam green background, the white of the blossoms repeated in the gleaming white of the enameled fixtures. Shrimp is the color used on the other two walls for pleasing contrast. Hussman fixtures have been used throughout. There will be more than forty-eight feet of the newest type self-service meat cases for the fresh pre-packaged and an additional section for the display of frozen meat items. A large meat cooler with overhead conveyor system and a spacious packaging room with the fatcst style equipment will serve this department. "Rear loading" vegetable and fruit cases permit re filling by employees without disturbing shoppers. All vegetables and fruits will be pre-packaged in a special area in the rear of the store where all of the produce will be washed, trimmed and packaged by the newest methods. The frozen food department more than twenty-four feet long will include novelties, pastries, soups, complete frozen meals, snacks and a large- selection of ice cream and ice cream novelties. The dairy department occupies more than sixty square feet of space. A new feature is the complete dietetic department providing those hard-to-gct and unusual items needed by persons on special diets. Exotic and unusual foods will be stocked for the discriminating hostess. The grocery department was so planned with the customer's comfort in mind Eight hundred and forty-five feet of low-type adjustable shelving stocked with a complete line of Topmost and other famous name brands, distributed by The General Grocer Company of St. Louis will be displayed. The story of Frick's, Inc., is the story of civic pride and faith in the community combined with progressive and sound methods of merchandising. The business was started by Owen A. Frick in 1926 in the building on the northeast corner of the square now occupied by John's Tavern. In only five years it had outgrown that location and in 1931 the owner had completed the present home, the Frick Building on the west side of the'square. In 1949 Gladys G. Wittrock took over the grocery and produce department of the business as a partner. They were joined by Dennis O. Frick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Frick. when he returned from service in the United States Army in 1952. The firm was incorporated in 1954. All meats sold arc processed in the packing plant on the Frick Farm west of Union on Highway 50. There the newest and latest equipment is used to insure highest quality products. In procuring the high quality meats for which the store has become famous, Frick's have built up a secondary business which has benefited Franklin County. They have not only established a market for live stock here, providing an outlet for farmers in this area, but by paying regular city market prices for their beef have enabled the local producers to save shipping and marketing costs as well.

In only five years it had outgrown that location and in 1931 the owner had completed the present home, the Frick Building on the west side of the'square. In 1949 Gladys G. Wittrock took over the grocery and produce department of the business as a partner. They were joined by Dennis O. Frick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Frick. when he returned from service in the United States Army in 1952. The firm was incorporated in 1954. All meats sold arc processed in the packing plant on the Frick Farm west of Union on Highway 50. There the newest and latest equipment is used to insure highest quality products. In procuring the high quality meats for which the store has become famous, Frick's have built up a secondary business which has benefited Franklin County.
